(22 November 2007, New York) Joe, 20, was drunkenly driving through Wayne
County farmland in upstate New York. With the utmost of inebriated care,
he steered his car directly into a ditch. Knocked over a power line
too. Oops! How could he rescue his car from the ditch without getting a
DUI?

The only way out was to steal a nearby farm vehicle, and winch the
car out himself. So he aproached the nearest farmhouse, managed to start a
tractor, and motored over to the scene of the accident. With the utmost of
inebriated care, he then proceeded to drive several tons of metal directly
into the downed power line.
